Hi I'm a regular user of mfp and successfully lost all my pregnancy weight gain after my first born. 3 days ago I gave birth to our son who was a whopping 10 pounds!! (my daughter was 9.2!) I've gained over 60 pounds this time and would love as much support as possible to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. Please feel free to add me and we can support each other to achieve our goals. Im looking forward to sharing this journey with you all :-)

    Congratulations! I just gave birth to my baby girl that weighed in at 5.4. I gained about 40 with her and would love to help motivate you and get a little motivation myself.

    He is a cutie!

    I just had my first boy back in September. I am 7lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight, but I am 50lbs from my goal weight. I only gained 30 with him (he was 9lbs 3oz) but I think that is only becuase I started out so heavy.

    Enjoy this time with him (I love the newborn, snuggle stage!) You will be back at the gym before you know it ;)

    Congrats, what a cute boy! And 10lbs, ouch!

    I have 2 kiddies - my son is 3.5 and my daughter 19 months. I gained loads with my daughter. After having her I reckon I was at least 40lbs heavier. My son was 7lbs 13 10 days overdue and my daughter was 8lbs 10, 12 days overdue.

    I've lost 55lbs since my daughter was 8 weeks old and I'm smaller than before I got pregnant with my son now! It's taken me a while though.

    Feel free to add me.

    Wow! Congrats on your little boy! i just had a baby boy on October 1st. I am now stuck with 15 pounds of baby weight and would like to get rid of that and keep getting rid of some. I have about 100 pounds to lose so that I am finally going to be comfortable in my own skin.
    Add me as a friend if you would like to. Maybe we can motivate each other to take the pounds off. Myself its for good because no more babies for this mama. I have 3 boys.

    You sound like me!!

    With my daughter, I gained 36 pounds. She was born 11/13/10, weighing 9lbs, 1oz. I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight by 8 weeks PP.

    With my son, I gained 49 pounds. He was born 11/14/12, weighing 10lbs, 1oz. Now, at almost 9 weeks PP, I am 8 pounds above my pre-pregnancy weight.

    But I have a lot more to lose.
